TO THE READER 



The compiler of this work would observe, that he 
lately visited London, Great Britain, for the pur- 
pose of making researches for certain properties sup- 
posed to have been left to a family in New Haven, 
Connecticut, U. S. In doing so, chance led him to 
some London Journals, which contained much use- 
ful matter relative to "properties" lying in that 
"country, unclaimed." They appeared in the shape 
of " advertisements," calling on the next of kin and 
heirs at law, of persons deceased, to come forward 
and claim their lawful rights. The advertisements 
alluded to, amounted to several hundreds, and the 
reading of the same led him to suppose, from the 
circumstance of some of them appearing for twenty 
years and upwards, together with the rapid tide of 
emigration to the "United States," that there must 
be " millions" of property lying there unclaimed 
by the legitimate owners, numbers of which are pro- 
bably residing in this country. These, and other 
circumstances, induced him to search for all such doc- 
uments, at considerable expense, for the purpose of 



bringing them to his adopted country, in the hope, 
that if he condensed them into a pamphlet, they might 
be the means of many persons recovering that, which, 
had it not been for the circumstance of his doing so, 
would probably have been lost forever. He having 
put the thing into practice, trusts that his efforts may 
be crowned with success, and his anticipations fully 
realized. 

It will necessarily follow, should chance put this 
work into the hands of any such who may consider 
themselves to be next of kin or heirs at law, to remit 
the sum of five dollars, (if by letter, post-paid, or 
they will not be attended to,) to Mr. Wtlltam Good- 
win, New Haven, Conn., that they thereby may be 
made acquainted by him, what steps to take, and to 
whom and where to apply, in London, or elsewhere, 
for the necessary information. 



HEIRS AT LAW AND NEXT OF KIN, 
WANTED. 



"You have of advertisements, that have more in them than 
you'd think."— Winter's Tale.

FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS REWARD. 

To the Ministers, Antiquarians, Registrars of the 

Bishop's Courts, College of Heralds, and

A branch of the ancient and noble house of Kne- 
vett, married one of the two daughters of Richard 
Standish and Elizabeth Leigh, his wife, of Duxbury 
Hall, Lancashire, within the date of 1661 and 1676, 
whose names were Ann and Francis, supposed to be 
the latter, as great obscurity attaches to the family 
of Sir Philip Knevett, Baronet, of Buckingham castle, 
who was high sheriff for Norfolk in 1650, Several of 
his family were high in the army at the Restoration of 
King Charles the Second, from whence comes the mar- 
riage which produced male issue. The family regis- 
ters, at this period, for the Duxbury family, at both 
the parish churches, viz. Charley and Standish Lane, 
are destroyed. The earliest and most confirmatory 
proof of their marriage, and the birth of the issue
